Buffalo Wild Wings is celebrating its recent legal victory and inviting customers back.
“These are called boneless wings and will forever be called boneless wings,” the restaurant said in a social media post on Thursday, Feb. 19. “Let’s celebrate today’s court decision with BOGO FREE boneless wings.”
Earlier this week, a federal judge filed a lawsuit against Buffalo Wild Wings, a sports bar chain, accusing it of deceiving customers by selling boneless wings without chicken wings. The suit argued that the chicken wings were “essentially chicken nuggets,” but Judge John Tharp Jr. rejected the suit, saying there was “no meat on the bones.”
What about the prey? Now, Boneless Wings at BOGO is technically a weekly Thursday deal, and it’s not just a post-trial victory celebration. But this entire saga, combined with Buffalo Wild Wings’ boast of victory, reignited a long-standing debate online. “Are wings without bones really wings?”
Are boneless wings really wings? Netizens discuss the court ruling
It appears that not all brand posters agree with the court’s decision. In fact, many users were furious that the judge defended the term “wings” in “boneless wings.”
One commenter said: “There’s no such thing as a boneless chicken wing. It’s chicken nuggets tossed in sauce.” “They’re insane chicken nuggets, grow up,” agreed another.
The two users had a discussion in the thread that resonated with many. Boneless chicken wings cannot be classified as chicken wings unless they are made with chicken wing meat.
“If it’s not chicken wing meat, why on earth is it called chicken wings? It’s a piece of breast meat. It’s never been a chicken wing, and it never will be,” said one avid chicken fan.
“It’s ‘boneless chicken wings’ like almond milk. It’s a piece of chicken, if not ground chicken. If I were honest, I’d get further, but I’m scared to be honest because if I tell the truth, they won’t eat at the restaurant,” said another. Several netizens denounced what they called “legalization of false advertising.”
Even when the Boneless Brigade seemed outnumbered, they stuck to their love for cheeky snacks.
“It’s a bit of a rant, but boneless chicken wings are so much better. They taste just like regular chicken wings, but without the effort,” said one person.
“Boneless wings are the only wings you should eat,” another agreed.
“I’m so glad the courts finally came to their senses. Boneless chicken wings are always better, they have more meat and you don’t have to work around the bones like 15th century farmers,” said one person.
And of course, some people point out that every Thursday is BOGO Boneless Day. Still, Buffalo Wild Wings used the opportunity to make a statement that boneless wings are here to stay.
